David Beckham dressed up as the late Queen singer, Freddie Mercury, whilst in Dubai with his friends.

The former footballer was featured in an Instagram photo with his best friend, David Gardner.

With slicked back hair and a white vest, Beckham pouted at the camera. He wrote:

"This is what happens when 3 queens get on the global express and think they are king Freddie #beenawaytoolong .. Long trip London , Nyc , Miami , Nyc , London , Dubai , London ... Can't wait to get home to see my beautiful wife and unbelievable children...."

Beckham flew into Dubai yesterday (September 29) for the opening of the new Adidas HomeCourt concept store in the Mall of Emirates.

The 40-year-old signed a $160 million lifetime contract with Adidas in 2003.
